First Communion Updates

This is for families with a child in the First Sacrament program.  The poster with the children's pictures will be assembled and hung next week.  If you have not turned in a picture of the child who will be celebrating First Communion,  Please do so ASAP.  You can put it in the box on the counter outside the Faith Formation office when you come to mass this weekend or at the very latest when you come to class next week.  Please make sure that the child's full name is written on the back of the picture.

The deadline for turning in the sheets with your retreat and mass date choices has passed.  Guided by the Holy Spirit, there is a fairly even split of numbers between the three masses.  You can now be confident that the date and time you indicated as your first choice for your child's First Communion mass will be your actual date and time.  The mass lists will be posted on the bulletin board in the Faith Formation hallway by later on next week.

First Communion Parent Meeting

This is a reminder for families with a child in the First Sacrament program of the upcoming MANDATORY First Communion parent meeting.  At least one parent MUST attend ONE of these meetings.  The meeting is for parents only.  At this meeting, you will receive materials to be worked on at home and information to help prepare your child to celebrate the Sacrament of Eucharist for the first time.

Please arrive 15 minutes early to allow time to check in.  Please bring a wallet size picture of the child who will be celebrating First Communion with you to the meeting.  There will be no make-up dates for this important meeting.  Failure to attend one of these meetings will jeopardize your child's placement in the First Sacrament program.

Meeting dates:

Thursday, January 7th at 6:30pm

          -OR-

Sunday, January 10th at 2:30pm
